### **What is Urethane Casting?**
Urethane casting is a manufacturing process that uses silicone molds to produce high-quality, low-volume plastic parts. This process is ideal for creating parts with complex geometries, smooth finishes, and flexible or rigid material properties.
The process begins with a master pattern, typically created via 3D printing or CNC machining, which is used to form a silicone mold. The mold is then used to cast urethane resins, creating parts with exceptional detail and quality.
